2-March 1953

Dear Mamma,

Thank you very much for your letter which came today. I was most pleased to get it, as I had begun to wonder what you were doing and how you are.

I am rather interested in contacting Linus and would appreciate your advising me where he is if he is not at home in Honolulu. It is not terribly important.

I like Anita very much too. I think she is a wonderful person. I have not heard of nor seen Peter. He still has his flat in Paris.

I got on to the Penguin people, and they will be coming, tell Daddy. I have been getting them in quantity. Their classic translations are poor, I think. They get a little dull after a while.

I am going mad in this cramped room I have. I must move sometime to more. I must make a bookshelf & a wardrobe. It is just terribly cramped.

Are foam rubber mattresses good? New prices full depth, double bed $66, single bed $45. I might get a little one. It is stupid to be uncomfortable all the time.

I am now calculating. Finished a hard three weeks of experiments.

Been going to London. Music. Girl. Never lose my head very much any more.

I love you,

Peter
